Step 1
The null hypothesis (H₀) typically states that there is no effect or no difference, meaning the parameter is equal to a specific value or not significantly different from it. Show more…

A recent study of the ecosystem in a deciduous forest indicated that in the natural forest, the average net change in nitrate nitrogen is an increase of 2 kg/hectare/yr. Foresters feel that defoliation of forest undergrowth would lead to a decrease in this value. Runoff water at 15 locations was used to test this hypothesis. At the end of a year, the sample average of the 15 locations was -3 (a loss of 3 kg/hectare) and the sample standard deviation was 7.5 kg/hectare. Is there evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 2? Use a significance level of 0.10.

Testing Hypotheses. In Exercises $5-18,$ test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, $P$ -value or critical value(s), conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use the $P$ -value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise. Garbage The totals of the individual weights of garbage discarded by 62 households in one week have a mean of 27.443 lb (based on Data Set 22 in Appendix B). Assume that the standard deviation of the weights is 12.458 ib. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the clai, that the population of households has a mean less than 30 lb, which is the maximum amount that can be handled by the current waste removal system. Is there any cause for concern?

For each conjecture, state the null and alternative hypotheses. a. The average weight of dogs is 15.6 pounds. b. The average distance a person lives away from a toxic waste site is greater than 10.8 miles. c. The average farm size in 1970 was less than 390 acres. d. The average number of miles a vehicle is driven per year is $12,603$. e. The average amount of money a person keeps in his or her checking account is less than $\$ 24$.
